In SL, you also have those animals who killed 40.000 innocent citizens.

Suq Madique Sunday, 07 July 2013 10:54 AM

Typical terrorist tactic to incite violence against a minority and then cry foul.

Nodrog Sunday, 07 July 2013 10:55 AM

Of course...why should SL live in peace when they are in turmoil?

R.R Rohan. Sunday, 07 July 2013 11:28 AM

This is one reason, clergy of any religion sholdnt get involved in politics, this cowardly act should be condemed by all, and it is india's responsibility to protect the pilgrims.

VoiceOfLanka Sunday, 07 July 2013 12:51 PM

It's so painful to see so many 'thumbs down' for votes of sympathy for this dastardly act born out of sick minds.

Cobra Sunday, 07 July 2013 01:08 PM

No, Gota send in the BBS!!!

Kaslana Sunday, 07 July 2013 01:26 PM

These acts of terrorism could well be the work of the CIA trying to incite sectarian and religious war in a country that has made enormous economic progress and has become the envy of the West.

jamal Sunday, 07 July 2013 01:26 PM

Is it the beginning of an end or end of beginning ?

Saskia Sunday, 07 July 2013 10:15 AM

Yes, this is the work of SLRC.

Gayan Sunday, 07 July 2013 05:34 PM

connection might be if we give police powers to the TNA , Next will be Naga Vihara in Jaffna

Mr. B. Wijeyasingha Sunday, 07 July 2013 06:06 PM

The only culprits could be the Maoists which are the biggest internal threat in India

retarded? Sunday, 07 July 2013 06:07 PM

Your one retarded professor, sire!

KD Monday, 08 July 2013 02:15 AM

Sri Lankan pilgrims visit this site. Sri Lankan Buddhist monks live there. It is a world heritage Buddhist site. That's why Sri Lanka is worried. Of course you know all this but try to act like a baby.
I'm sure I'm wasting my time here.

Tissa Monday, 08 July 2013 02:30 AM

State Police ignored the warning of federal Police. This is a warning for Sri Lanka 13th amendment if Police powers are given to the provinces. What will happen to Nagadeepa and other Buddhist siets if the 13th amendment is implemented has to be addressed by the Government, taking this incident as a warning. The "use by date expired" Marxists, in the government should also note

sach Monday, 08 July 2013 03:47 AM

A attack B so B attack C. what logic?

mjm Monday, 08 July 2013 06:20 AM

these are the work of the ILLUMINATI.. and not the so called media created terrorists..

kumar Monday, 08 July 2013 07:54 AM

Victims are Tibetan. So china is behind this.

BBS Sunday, 07 July 2013 05:43 AM

Prof Wickramatillake Sunday, 07 July 2013 04:33 AM

Terrible and sad; very likely Myanmar Muslims in retaliation, dying remnants of Piripaharan's ghosts, some locals or a big time terrorist group?

Yuri Sunday, 07 July 2013 04:39 AM

iTS INDIAN PROBLEM, WHY YOU ALL TAKE INTO YOUR HAND. I CANT UNDERSTAND

Fusion Sunday, 07 July 2013 05:17 AM

So its not gas explosion. Looks like the Ministry of Home Affair have confirmed it as an act of terror. Question is will the pro-LTTE elements have the nerve to do this?

kautilya Sunday, 07 July 2013 02:24 AM

BBS take action

Peradeniya.Prof Sunday, 07 July 2013 05:43 AM

Why the hell would you connect the 13A and this?

DPD wijesinghe Sunday, 07 July 2013 06:16 AM

The Lord Buddha taught the world about loving kindness. He advised to cultivate kindness in our mind to all beings in the universe as mother loving her own child.
Those animals doing these things and those who are supporting will be definitely born in hell soon.

satha Sunday, 07 July 2013 06:22 AM

gota! send ur troops

sen Sunday, 07 July 2013 06:21 AM

thats the cheap Sri Lankan mentality by this these people accept that Budha is a symbol of India in Sri Lanka.

Diasproda Sunday, 07 July 2013 07:37 AM

A cowardice act!

loku Sunday, 07 July 2013 07:54 AM

why? to carpet bomb more?

hassan Sunday, 07 July 2013 08:55 AM

since no one cant go and attack inside miyanmar, this has become a soft target.

dumba Sunday, 07 July 2013 09:13 AM

You mean his white vans?

Channa Sunday, 07 July 2013 09:51 AM

" The Hindu" reported that Home ministry has warned the Bihar state police about the possible attack. But nothing has been done. India do you still want to implement 13 with police powers ?. At least learn from your mistakes.
